Description
Soft, chewy Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies made with Greek yogurt, oats, and naturally sweetened with honey—perfect for wholesome snacking.
Ingredients
1 cup Greek yogurt
½ cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
¼ cup honey (or pure maple syrup)
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (or quick oats)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon baking soda
Optional: a handful of dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried cranberries
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and honey. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
3. Add the oats, vanilla extract, and baking soda. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
4. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet.
5. Gently press each mound of dough with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly.
6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage. You can swap honey for maple syrup for a vegan version (use plant-based yogurt too). These make great lunchbox snacks or post-workout treats thanks to the protein-rich ingredients.
